Stolarz needs to have that one.

Took him some time to get comfortable and find his role in the lineup, but he’s fitting in nicely now.

Toe pick near Lorentz’s skate is a trip now. Cool.

A+ dive by Strudel there.

League clearly doesn’t want a sweep.

Which is why I said average goalie not average starter. ;)

Regular season, he’s been basically average. Playoffs, he’s struggled. League average sv% this season was .893.

Yeah. He’s a decidedly average goalie. That can work if you have stellar defence to go with your strong offence, but the Oilers don’t have that. You can only out score those issues for so long.

Yeah. That's just how Harper is, though.

Sure, but Detroit's success with that style was from a very different era, where they could heavily obstruct the opposition on D while taking advantage of their puck possession prowess. It still worked some as the league started to crackdown on obstruction, largely because teams hadn't fully...

Ugh. I hate that ad. Who do they think they're speaking to? The whole conversation sounds stilted and forced, and says nothing about what the CPC will actually do. Telling me you're not the Liberals doesn't inspire confidence. Tell me what you actually plan to do! Same is true of the Harper ad...

Poor decision on a questionable challenge, bad PK, and Vasi not playing near his best cost Tampa last night.

The system the Leafs are running definitely gives up a lot of possession time, but, that's about it. Not much from high danger areas. Mostly clean looks for Stolarz, too. It doesn't look good, but it has been very effective. The Leafs actually come out ahead in expect goals 5-on-5.

They can’t all be masterpieces, but they all count! Gotta bring their A game in Ottawa!

Ottawa hasn’t felt super threatening at 5-on-5, but still playing with fire letting them have the puck this much. Better so far in the 3rd.

He initiated contact there. If he just stands his ground, he probably doesn’t get called.

PK made it look worse than it was, but still a bad period for the Leafs there.

Something like this, for sure. He likely didn’t want it to feel like he was announcing his retirement.

Aww. Did Widly Gweig huwt himself sliding into the goalie?
